Ever whispered “I’m just a graphic designer” and felt that pang in your chest?

In this episode, I’m talking straight from the heart—about why so many of us shrink when asked what we do, and how the only way the world will ever truly respect design… is if we start first.

From awkward dinner-party moments to the real power of design that lives in everything from your coffee cup to your shampoo bottle—we’re unpacking why design isn’t “just” anything. It’s communication. Connection. Strategy.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unvalued, or like your work doesn’t matter, this one’s for you.
